Bros. 4 Celebrate Three Years of Southern Gospel Music

It all began in March of 2013, when a F-5 tornado ripped through the town of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. But through the miraculous and unseen power of God, there were no fatalities.

Hattiesburg, Mississippi is the hometown of Buddy Graves, and his home church, Wesley Southern Methodist. Buddy’s parents have attended Wesley since it’s founding in 1965.

It wasn’t long after the tornado, that the pastors and members were prompted to still host the annual conference in July. After the decision was made, the pastor and Buddy’s father, Jerry Graves, began to plan the three day conference beginning with a night of “singspiration.”

They called Buddy and asked him if he would be interested in securing a group at their event. Buddy mentioned he had been speaking with a friend about singing again after a six-year gap, that friend happened to be Adam Dungey, bass singer.

For many who don’t know it, Adam Dungey happened to be the manager/drummer for Mercy River Quartet from 2001-2004, when Buddy was a part of this group.

Dungey agreed to reach out to former member Brandon Wilson who is an excellent baritone singer and piano player, Buddy also returned the favor and reached out to powerful tenor singer Darryl Smith. They both agreed and Bros. 4 was formed
